  The default search engine for Firefox will change from December. Google has been the default search engine for the browser for over a decade-long. but this partnership will now end. so from December Yahoo will become the new default search engine in the US.

  At the last update Firefox changed my search engine to DuckDuck Go.
  I had to go into settings to revert to my choice of engine

  As any search engine can be set a the default, it's only going to give new users a taste of Yahoo they might not have otherwise had....They'll soon change to something else, once they know how.
